Predator: Badlands Is Completely Different From Anything The Franchise Has Done Before Thanks To These 7 Elements

Predator: Badlands is set to be a very different kind of entry in the franchise, with seven elements setting it apart from what has come before. Released in 1987, the first Predator movie pitted Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch and his team of elite commandos against one Predator, also known as a Yautja, in a Central American rainforest. The success of the film led to four follow-up movies in the main franchise, as well as two Alien vs. Predator spinoff movies, all of which have evolved the IP in various ways.
